What seems unbelievable today, but there was a time period when it was absolutely true?

Maybe we can have a discussion on rap related topics, about opinions or facts that may sound strange today, but were actually very real in some time period. I'll start:

Before Future became prince of modern trap sound, he was considered by many as merely knock off T-Pain, because of his heavy autotune use and pop-like mainstream singles. It even led to some twitter shots being fired by T-Pain himself.

Young Thug was literally obsessed with Lil Wayne, and before he found his own style, he copied everything he could from the GOAT (flow, clothes, style). Might be pretty obvious for those who remember why Barter 6 is named this way, but it may not be so apparent for those who know Young Thug only from his recent releases.

Rapper named Slim The Mobster was a Aftermath/Shady signee, who was supposed to be new mainstream juggernaut after 50 Cent, G-Unit and The Game, only to become completely irrelevant and forgotten without an album and a deal few years later.

When 2Chainz rose to mainstream popularity peak somewhere around 2010-2012, he was already rapping for 10+ years. (similar to Lil Durk today)

Rick Ross was a correctional officer, pretty known, but also pretty unbelievable for those who may not know.

Sounds pretty strange today but Yo Gotti goes way back to memphis rap sound originators (DJ Sound) and his original style was as dark, hypnotic and sinister as the rest of the Memphis scene in the 90's, which sounds nothing alike to what he does today.
